EventSource (GWT 2.7.0)

All Superinterfaces:

EventTarget

All Known Implementing Classes:

JsEventSource
```
public interface EventSource
extends EventTarget
```
The EventSource interface is used to manage server-sent events. You can set the onmessage attribute to a JavaScript function to receive non-typed messages (that is, messages with no event field). You can also call addEventListener() to listen for events just like any other event source.

See Using server-sent events for further details.
